CD Suprise Release Date Theory

[GNR4L]

I can see the suprise Tuesday release work for a couple of reasons.

1. Most mythical CD to be released, people don't think its coming but it is.

2. Once it hits the shelves everybody will run and hit the shelves after hearing that someone actually went to Best Buy and it was there.

3. posibily that we could hear the single released prior a week to the date it comes out ( kinda of a prequel).

4. Axl and his gang are always up to crazy things.

5. I know it will come and and I bet you ANYTHING WE WILL GET A CONCERT DVD WITH IT.

I like the positive thinking. Hope it's true!

I think it'd be cool if they did that. But just for a heads up, would be fun to send a text to all those who signed up for news via text on the gnr website saying that CD comes out "tomorrow" the day before it comes out.

I don't think the concert DVD or ANY DVD will be released. ?It'll just be the album, with around 13 tracks. ?

I am at best buy and Walmart every Tuesday until 2007 when they open ( Walmart is 24 hours so , that will be kind of odd)

Haha your standing there and they bring out a big box. You ask "what is that stuff?" and they say "a new GNR album" and then you faint. 


GNR4L: Good thinking, I think there will be a press release, official word kind of thing before its out, but nice line of thinking.

It could also come out on a friday

[grog mug]

How could it come out on a Friday?  The press release just mentions Tuesdays, so wouldn't Friday be counted out because of what Merck said?

No, and because albums come to the stores on tues. If they are weary of the album leaking, the stores will be allowed to put out CD when they get it in on that friday. A few bands have done this in the past few? years. I am not saying that is going to happen but its something Universal can do if they want to

hmmm..guess that makes sense now.  I guess nov. 28 is looking to be THE day...too much speculation not to be right?

Still the most retarded thing i've ever heard...

That is what I think it will be released on the friday before the 28th if its not the 21st. Because that would put it out on black friday and offically the 28th. It makes teh most sense

Correction: People don't KNOW it's coming.

2. Once it hits the shelves everybody will run and hit the shelves after hearing that someone actually went to Best Buy and it was there.

Banking on word of mouth would be insane in the age of the downloader.

3. posibily that we could hear the single released prior a week to the date it comes out ( kinda of a prequel).

I don't see how releasing a single would add to the ridiculous "surprise" theory.

4. Axl and his gang are always up to crazy things.

Crazy things like releasing a double disc at midnight, on new year's, after heavy promotion. Not stupid things like spending 13 years making an album then not telling anyone when they can listen to it.

5. I know it will come and and I bet you ANYTHING WE WILL GET A CONCERT DVD WITH IT.

Not sure how this pertains to the "surprise" theory either.

are you sure about that?

[yourfinalanswer]

It will arrive with very short notice - several reasons exist - including releasing it before it leaks heavilly on the Internet - this is actually one of the bigger reasons.  The same thing that forced 50 Cent to release an album early before - they do not want this to happen.  It will be the 28th of November.

I have a Rhapsody subscription and albums are usually put on there at midnight the day of release. So I'll be looking for it tomorrow night at midnight, as well as next Monday at midnight, and so on...unless of course I really need some sleep (I have work at 8 AM on Tuesday's).

its depressing how many people i know that dont even know a song by GNR, or a member.  surprise release date=big failure

[Crowebar]

That would be awesome!!!!!

Exactly. And I'd hate to think that most peoples first exposure to Better will be associated with a tv commercial.

I love how a little sarcastic comment by management for a lousy magazine is now a "theory"
